Filmed on the Native American reservation of the same name in South Dakota, where Americans with native blood live a life in the middle -- and yet outside -- of American society, PINE RIDGE explores what shapes the lives and dreams of today's Native American youth.

Depicted on their own terms during a long warm summer, Lance Red Cloud, Kassel Sky, Cassandra Warrior, her young daughter Diamond Rose, and their friends and families know one thing for sure: their future is uncertain, and it resembles their traditional way of life less and less.

Official Selection at the Venice Film Festival and Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival. Winner of the Dragon Award for Best Nordic Documentary at the Goteborg Film Festival. Nominated for the Nordic Dox Award at CPH:DOX.
